Samsung-Johns Hopkins project wins 2025 R&D 100 Awards

A joint research project between Samsung Electronics and Johns Hopkins University on next-generation refrigeration technology has won the 2025 R&D 100 Awards, one of the world’s most renowned awards for innovative engineering technologies. Samsung Electronics said Sunday the research, conducted by Samsung Research and Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (APL), was selected as one of the 100 Top Innovations in the 2025 R&D 100 Awards organized by R&D World Magazine. Established in 1963, the R&D 100 Awards honor the 100 most innovative technologies each year that contribute to advancements in science and technology. The team won the honor with its research on “Scalable, Energy Efficient CHESS Thin‑Film Thermoelectric Refrigerator.” CHESS thin films are nano-engineered materials developed by Johns Hopkins APL that leverage the Peltier effect to deliver an eco-friendly, nonchemical cooling method without refrigerants, enabling faster and more precise temperature control. The award committee cited the achievement as the world’s first development of a high-performanceWeiter zum vollständigen Artikel bei Korea Times Weiter zum vollständigen Artikel bei Korea Times
